Ulcer Calm has been formulated to help support a healthy gastric environment for those horses and ponies at risk of ulcers. Ulcer Calm contains ingredients to reduce stomach acidity especially useful for those on a high concentrate diet, frequently stabled, in regular training and exercise, showing signs of anxiety, or with frequent changes to routine.A horse’s stomach continuously produces gastric acid and if they are grazing, the saliva produced helps to buffer this acid and protect the stomach. Feeding grain diets or high concentrate diets can lead to gastric discomfort as these low fibre feeds are chewed faster than forages such as hay and grass, so less saliva is mixed with the food. These foods also leave the stomach faster. Both lead to increased exposure of the stomach lining to gastric acid, which can cause problems.
